Our Story & Craft

We are a small, independent leather shop based in Basalt, Colorado. Every item we make is cut, stitched, and finished entirely by hand in our workshop.

We source only the highest quality full grain leathers, primarily from Horween Leather Company in Chicago and Virgilio Conceria Artigiana in Italy. These are two of the finest tanneries in the world, and their leather is made to age beautifully with time and use.

Our philosophy is simple. We make fewer things, but we make them exceptionally well. Every edge is burnished by hand, every stitch is precise, and every detail is considered. We design timeless, minimalist pieces meant to be used and carried every single day, items that only get better with age.

We stand behind our work. Every product comes with a lifetime guarantee. If something ever fails to meet our standards, we will repair or replace it.

This is more than a business to us. It is a way of life built on quality, honesty, and integrity, doing things slowly, and carefully creating goods that are, and to be, Handmade. Handed Down.

Unfailing Warranty Guarantee

Everything we we make is made by hand from start to finish, this is why we say, “Made with these two hands”. It’s not just a catch phrase or a marketing slogan, while it is our slogan, it’s really our motto. We stand behind everything we make because we have designed and tested everything to meet our unfailing standards of quality and craftsmanship. With that said, if any of our Maybell & Co. goods fail due to a construction defect or hardware component, we will repair it or replace it.

That is our Unfailing Warranty Guarantee.
